Acoustic Blues Guitar

Blues Guitar RiffsThis lesson continues on the foundation of the 12-Bar Blues Guitar. If you don't know what that is, I'd recommend you head over to that lesson first and then come back here.

So more on the 12-Bar Blues. There's just so much you can do with it, and with each extra trick you add to it, the whole thing just sounds cooler. Now we're going to take the rhythm to a whole new level by using melodic and repetitive riffs during the progression. This will form a fully structured song or solo commonly used in Acoustic Blues Guitar.

In the key of E and sticking to the standard 12-Bar progression, we're now going to replace the chords with some riffs. Instead of playing the E chord, you'll play a riff in E. Instead of playing the A chord; you'll play a riff in A. You get the idea right?
